You studied law so what's your opinion on this line of thinking?

I think I just thought of a way or reason that the TSA body scan or feel-up patdowns should be halted immediately, possibly by a federal judge as soon as the right argument reaches them.

Ok, The TSA's story is now that by coming to the checkpoint you have automatically consented and are obligated to either or at their discretion.  They say this is ok because their policies are on their website, but it is not required of anyone to read TSA's website before bording a plane.  It is not stated anywhere in the airport that once you cross this line, you have agreed to those terms and nowhere have you signed to agree to those terms and even the government has to honor contract law.  So they are holding passengers to terms that are punishable with 10,000 bucks for refusing and they will bring an additional civil suit againt you for backing out of the "contract" which was not signed or even shown to the person entering...  To me, this seems like a legal no brainer, but I'm not a lawyer...  Opinion please?

Probem is that under the all encompssing "national security" monicker, they get away with a lot of shit. 

However, tere are arguments of 4th amned violation and assault and sexual assault. 

I have to think about this as its not as cut and dry as you could think. 
In your opinion, how will the civil suit go against this, "don't touch my junk bro" guy if TSA sues him as promised?

Is it a valid argument that no contract is signed and no signs are in place or any other means in place to inform passengers of what they are stepping into legally?

Anybody know the ACLU's take on these scanners?  I'd imagine they would have most angles considered by now.
